Fawad Chaudhry says happy to leave info ministry for Sheikh Rasheed

Federal Information Minister Fawad Chaudhry on Saturday said that he would be more than happy to step down from his position for Railways Minister Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed.

Chaudhry’s statement came in response to a video of Sheikh Rasheed on television channels and social media in which the railways minister could be heard commenting that he had been offered by Prime Minister Imran Khan to take over the information ministry.

“I had four meeting with the prime minister yesterday. He told me that you should take over the information ministry,” Rasheed could be heard saying as he spoke to officials prior to a press conference in Lahore. Rasheed could be heard saying the information minister was “on a picnic in London and he has been asked to return.”
